GRANTS, N.M. (AP) – The New Mexico Mining and Minerals Division will give the public a chance to comment on Neutron Energy Inc.’s application to explore for uranium in Cibola County.

The division has scheduled a public hearing for the evening of Nov. 20 in Grants.

Neutron Energy has proposed drilling in the Marquez Canyon area about 30 miles northeast of Grants. The company plans to drill 44 holes in an area that was previously disturbed by intensive drilling and mine development work in the 1970s.
